Reiserfs question

[Kyrre Ness Sjobak]

SuSE 9.1 used reiser as defaut, didn't they?

Anyway, ill go for reiser when it becomes default for Fedora. ext is
"good enough" anyway. And i must say, that my ext3 fs has survived
incredible things in the past (including, but not limited to, heavy
corruption due to HW failure. If only fsck would calculate the
whereabouts of the extra super-inodes... Had to
1.  use a rescue disk to dd the partition over to my main computer
(thanks god for NFS!), just to get the size on disk
2.  create a fs on a file which had the same size (an empty file created
by dd)
3.  get the whereabouts of the extra master inodes from there
4.  run fsck from an alternate master inode.
5.  lay something heavy on the "yes, do as you like, i dont have a clue
about what you are talking about" button aka ENTER, and let it lay there
for ten minutes, while it was asking at a rate of 20/secound (AT LEAST!)

But it came back up! I was a bit worried when the computer booted, and
suddenly rhgb got distorted and it hung solidly... But i (fsck) got it
back up!

that the disk died 2 months later (i can cat it, but the partitions is
gone from /dev (even if the partitition table is there according to
fdisk), is another case. But i rescued all data!
